2969. na. SPLIT ROCK LIGHTHOUSE. Minnesota Historical Society. 1993. 32p. Soft wraps. As Great Lake ’s vessels doubled in length and the era of steam replaced sail, the need for a lighthouse at Split Rock was becoming more and more clear. After the November gale of 1905 when a half-dozen huge freighters ran aground, Congress appropriated $75,000 for a light and fog signal station on the site. This most informative booklet details the events leading up to the establishment of a light here, landing the necessary materials, the labor used to construct the station, equipment installed, and a great deal about the keepers and their life at the station. Illustrated with a number of excellent early photographs of the keepers tending their equipment, family life and more. Nicely done. (VG+). $22.
